I belong to TOPS and I believe the membership fee was $20.00 and then the monthly dues are about $4/month. In my group, the TOPS Loser of the Month (who has lost the most weight in the group for the month) gets a free month of dues. I have not had to pay monthly dues as of yet. TOPS has a web site too, but I am not sure of the URL. Try searching for it in Google. Good luck!
